    I get a cough that doesn't go away, and when I breathe out - I cough more at the end of it. Dh suffers from asthma and he needs a preventative - he got me some Ventolin that I use sometimes when I can't stop.

    Usually I blow out like I'm blowing out candles and get out all the air that I can and do that until it goes away. Works for me really well - dh discovered that trick when doing an assessment on asthma (he's in his 2nd year of nursing degree)

    Yes that's exactly what my cough is like! I'll try the candle trick, thanks for the suggestion
